Russian forces struck Ukraine with three Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 324 strike UAVs of the Shahed, Gerbera, Italmaz, and other types, including about 250 Shaheds, the Air Force reported on April 15.
Ukraine's air defense shot down and neutralized 309 Russian drones in the country's northern, southern, eastern, and centeral oblasts.
Hits by ballistic missiles and 13 strike UAVs were recorded at nine locations, along with falling downed targets and debris at 10 locations, Air Force data indicated.
Several Russian drones remain in Ukraine's airspace as of 7 a.m., the military warned.
Explosions were heard in a number of Ukrainian oblasts at night due to the Russian drone and missile attack. A 74-year-old woman was killed in Zaporizhzhya after Russian troops struck a public transport stop, also damaging a parking lot, an enterprise, and nearby residential buildings.
Russia also struck the center of Dnipro, damaging a nine-story new building, causing a fire in an administrative building, and injuring three people.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
